I'm Sandip Kumar, a contemporary wedding photojournalist. I do make some pretty pictures , but that's not what its about. I strive to keep my visual stories raw and real, bringing the viewer to the scene.
Weddings are a melting pot of relationships and emotions, and I consider it a serious responsibility and a great honor to be the author of a wonderful chapter in your personal history.
My base is in 2 places, Pine Island – a quiet island in Southwest Florida, and New Ipswich, a charming little town in rural New Hampshire.
I like to spend time every now and then in my home town, Mangalore, a lovely port-town in the west coast of India, and at my mother’s cozy home town – Ipoh, in Malaysia.
What my
Clients Say
Sandip was a pleasure to work with. He was communicative in the months and days leading up to our wedding and was extremely flexible and professional throughout. On our wedding day, he made us feel comfortable with the posed photos and got so many wonderful candids that truly captured our day. He has a unique eye that offers a journalistic tone and shows the day exactly as it was, which is exactly how we wanted to remember it. His photos are artistic and stunning. We couldn't be happier we worked with Sandip for our wedding.
Okay so never will you ever regret your decision to hire Sandip. He is an adept artist and a professional. He captures truly beautiful and unique moments without being obtrusive or pushy. He will not necessarily cave to your demands in terms of wanting something that goes against his artistic integrity, but he is a professional and a dang good one at that, so it is in your own best interest to trust his instincts. Besides my words his pictures are the only proof you will need.
We couldn't have asked for a better photographer than Sandip. Before we get to the quality of his photos, it is important that I mention how easy it is to work with him. A wedding can be extremely stressful, and I am not very good at posing for pictures. But Sandip is a natural and he just knows how to make you comfortable and make you look your best. It has been 4 years since our wedding and people still ask us about the photographs and the photographer, that's how good he is. He has a more journalistic approach and makes your photos tell a story. I can't recommend him enough.
While we were contemplating our first shoot as a couple, we were looking for someone who could make us feel comfortable in front of the lens and captures us in the most natural and beautiful manner. In Sandip, we hit the jackpot.
Not only was Sandip omnipresent guaranteeing all the important events of the main functions were covered in spite of tempting distractions such as abundance of alcohol and common friends & family, he also managed to be almost invisible during our couple shoot. He let us be ourselves, fool around and enjoy the couple shoot while making certain that he brought out our unique personality as a couple and arrest them for eternity.
As they say, when the music fades and the lights go off, all you have are the memories and photographs. Each time we look at our engagement album charmingly curated by Sandip, we are taken back to those magical moments and we savor life a little more intensely :)
